In order to be called a medical drug... the substance has to have some poison in it... if it is not poisonous... it is not a medical drug...

Therefore, we should take as little drug a possible... however, sometimes we don't have a choice... you don't have to take some aspirin if you have a small headache... but you might have to take some antibiotic if you have an infection...

As far as alternative medicines are concerned... there is a tendency for exaggeration when both practitioners and some patients testify to its effectiveness...

Sadly, there is no hard and fast rule that can be followed... only common sense... one thing though... if it sounds too good to be true... it's probably not true...

Best of luck to you...
